"50% admit they regularly sneak food into movie theaters to avoid the high prices of snack foods."

I'm totally with everyone on that, i went to the cinema in the winter before in a parka and sneaked a McDonalds meal in there under the big coat :P


I love these numbers, averages and percentages posts. Good to read when bored.

I'd say more than 62% of us pop zits. Everytime I've watched Big Brother they're constantly at their face pickin away.

As far as the spam goes, I'd rather starve to death. A friend of mine here was frying some and the look and smell of it about made me yack. It's like eating dog food :shock:

Old Tommy Cooper joke.....

Apparently, 1 in 5 people in the world are Chinese, and there are 5 people in my family, so it must be one of them.

It's either my mum or my dad, or my older brother Colin, or my younger brother Ho-Cha-Chu......but I think it's Colin.
